More than 100 people crowded near the stage Thursday at Basin Park to sing and hold a candeliight vigil in protest of proposed SWEPCO transmission lines. In addition to candles many protestors had themselves adorned with body paint slogans against the 345 kilovolt transmission line that would cut a 150-foot wide swath through the county and result in an electromagnetic radiation field around its path which will then be subject to maintainance by herbicide applications.
